The "Best of SAIE Innovation" consists of a selection of 28 innovative solutions divided into categories spanning the entire world of construction. These solutions testify to companies’ unflagging efforts to improve their range of products and services. Amongst these solutions are products that not only constitute an effective innovation in their fields but also stand out for their low environmental impact and energy efficiency in keeping with the latest needs of the construction industry.

TOC ODB 68 is a versatile solution offering reliable protection in harsh environments. Whether cabling infrastructure for buildings or FTTH network, mobile communication or industrial application, whether security installations or smart grid, the small, robust distributor protects FO connections in harsh environments in indoor and outdoor applications. The space-saving housing is UV stable and offers water and dust protection according to IP68. It can be installed on walls and ceilings, in floors and on poles.

The round housing makes sure the minimum bending radius of the cable slack is maintained and offers additional space for couplers, attenuators and splitters in WCM and FTTH networks. The TOC ODB 68 is available as a splice case with splice cassettes and as a distributor for pre-assembled TICNET ready-to-install fiber optic links. The version for the TICNET links comes with two special cable glands for torsion-free, dust and watertight entering.

As a universal product solution, the innovative TOC ODB 68 offers the versatility and flexibility needed in modern fiber optic networks.
